4000 stall you would be doing wheelstands every takeoff. Is this for drag or street? I would have thought 3000 max.

Sexy cars? :) (Le Xtreme)

Get a half cut for $2000 and sell the bits you dont need, then it could cost you nothing. :)

I would assume it stays on till at operating temp which may explain the extra performance I have when cold, but im just guessing.

I dont think you will have much trouble drifting, in fact if you can keep it in a straight line I will be amazed. How much room is left in the engine bay, have you measured?

Use a silicone release agent. Then it wont stick. What about using smaller lenses like on the new range rovers or wrx's in a black housing, could look good.

premium all the way!

My local parts store ordered a set of BKR6EIX-11 (4272) NGK Iridium ix. They have been working great for 20,000 km. What I do need is a set of leads, mine are 11 years old.

Matt I changed mine at 120,000 and the electrode was missing from all of them although the engine still ran fine. I would suggest checking them (They may have been changed in Japan) and replacing with iridium NGK, I have had no problem with them.

Obviously it comes down to cost. Inconel and 321 stainless would be the best but I couldnt even find them in Australia, let alone afford them. Titanium is difficult to weld and is expensive also. Cast is cheap and does the job but it is heavy and most wont use it for this reason. Stainless only...

340i, The cast bends are more stable at high temperatures compared to mild and stainless, although a high grade stainless (321 etc) would be stronger but much more expensive.

Try a ecu reset first. It may help.

Perhaps they spliced into the power for the traction computer to run the phone and stuffed it somehow. The pic is down but it looked like there was a mobile antena plug hanging off it.

Further to this apparently a land cruiser thrust washer is a better replacement. But as you say, expensive to pull down.

Is that your milling machine Jordy? It seems you have all the toys I dream of. :) Is there a chance you could show me a closeup pic of the runner outlet? Is it round? I am wondering if I could make this from mild steel tubing. Thanks mate. Nice pics.

Paolo, mine ran for a week unplugged. There was a warning but it ran fine. I think youre right Miles it was probably running rich. I dont remember if it had a lower rev limit but it didnt seem to be in limp mode, plenty of power.

Jordy, have you managed to find some extra manifolds? If so how much extra will it be with a supplied manifold (I would like to change back if needed) Thanks mate.

That looks like a mobile phone car kit from where I sit.

You have to remember this engine can make good power with a decent exhaust, which is not what Toyota were going for. A more restrictive exhaust allows more driveability and more power in the lower rev range, which is what they were trying to achive I think.

I agree with Zuffen. Many of us are on this forum to gain experience so our efforts on home mechanics are easier, cheaper and more enjoyable. I would prefer no-one touches my car but me where possible (which means I can only blame myself when something goes wrong) I know most of us would like to...
